Specialist Repair Solutions for Non-Traditional Housing
Our PRC homes and NTHAS licensed repair schemes provide specialist, evidence-based solutions for non-traditional housing stock (NTHAS), including pre-1970 properties such as Airey, Wimpey No-Fines, Cornish, and other precast reinforced concrete (PRC) homes.
We are proud to be the first company to develop NTHAS-approved repair solutions, and these pioneering schemes remain at the heart of our expertise and company origin. Our approach ensures that non-traditional homes can be safely maintained, refurbished, and extended, meeting regulatory requirements and long-term performance standards.
What Are PRC Homes and NTHAS Licensed Repair Schemes?
PRC (Precast Reinforced Concrete) homes and other non-traditional construction types often require specialist repair and maintenance due to material deterioration, structural defects, and age-related issues.
The NTHAS (Non-Traditional Houses Approvals Scheme) provides licensed repair solutions for these homes, giving landlords and housing providers confidence that remedial works are:
- Technically sound and safe
- Approved by independent regulatory assessment
- Compliant with building standards, fire safety, and housing quality regulations
Through NTHAS licensing, we deliver structured, reliable repair programmes that preserve non-traditional housing stock and extend its lifespan.
Why NTHAS Licensed Repairs Matter
Non-traditional and PRC homes are susceptible to:
- Concrete spalling, reinforcement corrosion, and structural deterioration
- Water ingress and thermal inefficiency
- Fire safety or building safety compliance challenges
- High maintenance costs if left unmanaged
Licensed NTHAS repair schemes allow councils and housing associations to deliver safe, durable, and cost-effective solutions while meeting regulatory compliance and audit requirements.
Our licensed approach also helps landlords protect asset value, enhance resident safety, and plan long-term maintenance strategies.
